I couldn't care less about being a presenter at the Oscars.

I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.

There's nothing more boring than unintelligent actors, because all they have to talk about is themselves and acting. There have to be other things.

What you get is what you get. What you do with what you get, that’s more the point.

I love iconoclasts. I love individuals. I love people that are true to themselves, whatever the cost.

I'm the kind of person who does not remember bad things.

To the world you may be just one person but to one person you may be the world The road to finding 'the one' is paved with a bit of promiscuity.

I ran spotlight. Swept up. Did box office. Ran the lighting board. But acting was the most fun.

My philosophy is, don't take no for an answer and be willing to sacrifice your entire project for freedom.

You get money out of acting. You get gray hair out of directing. Actually, I get more of a rush from directing.

I learned much more about acting from philosophy courses, psychology courses, history and anthropology than I ever learned in acting class.

The fight isn't over until you win it...That's all you have to remember. No matter what the other man thinks.

This is life! It can harden and it can exalt!

What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling.

Oh for a tongue to curse the slave Whose treason, like a deadly blight, Comes o'er the councils of the brave, And blasts them in their hour of might!

I don't make promises in case I can't keep them. Sometimes you can't help it; things stop you.

I like what Wallace Stevens said: "Poetry must almost successfully resist intelligence." I just change the word "poetry" to "my photographs".

Every man who has seen the world knows that nothing is so useless as a general maxim.

A man's true secrets are more secret to himself than they are to others.

The wind blows out, the bubble dies; The spring entomb'd in autumn lies; The dew dries up; the star is shot; The flight is past, and man forgot.

No one does wrong voluntarily.
